Kathmandu. Oman-bound ICC World Cup League-2 One Day Cricket Tournament Nepal is competing against Canada today, Saturday. The match to be held at Al Amerat Cricket Ground will start at 11:15 AM Nepali time today. This match is an opportunity for both Nepal and Canada to strengthen their position in the points table. Canada is under pressure to win to keep its chances of finishing in the top six alive. Nepal is also planning to secure its place in the top six by achieving its third consecutive victory. If Nepal wins, it will secure its place in the top six with one game remaining. Nepal is one point ahead of Canada in the table. Nepal has accumulated 28 points from 34 matches with 13 wins, 19 losses, and two draws. Canada, in seventh place, has achieved 27 points from 35 matches with 11 wins, 19 losses, and five draws. Nepal has won both its initial matches in this series. Nepal defeated Canada by 24 runs in the first match and registered a massive 113-run victory over host Oman in the second match. Nepal plans to maintain this momentum and achieve another victory against Canada. On the other hand, Canada wants to take revenge for the defeat in the first match and keep its chances of finishing in the top six alive. It has already shown its capability by defeating Oman by 58 runs in its last match. In that match, Canada, batting first, scored 256 runs. Therefore, in Saturday’s competition, Nepal will have to stop Canada’s batting and also improve its own batting. Nepal has scored competitive totals in both matches batting first in the ongoing series. Nepal scored 235 runs against Canada and 263 runs against Oman. Since the team batting first has won all the matches so far in the series, the toss and initial batting can also affect the outcome of the match. Nepal’s Past Against Canada Nepal and Canada have played six One Day International matches so far, with Nepal winning four and Canada winning two. Nepal had won its last match against Canada after being defeated in 2024. Nepal aims to continue the same momentum in Saturday’s match as well. If Nepal defeats Canada, it will secure its place in the top six and can reduce the pressure against Oman in the final match of the series. However, if defeated, Nepal will have to defeat Oman in the final match.
